It Doubt that it is a hoax... I have Directly quoted the article from a very reputable paper. CAN-WEST GLOBAL NEWS SERVICE STANDS BEHIND IT!

SCARY... I just don't want to think people would abort fetuses based on sexuality or gender... but apparently they do... I saw a dcumentary about eastern families that do this to avoid paying a dowry for females born in their families. A dowry is the money or other payment they make to the family of their daughters new husband when their daughter is married. The fathers negotiate the dowry when they arrange the marriage, when the spouses "to be" are still children.
